Carnival of the Recipes #63: Tricks, Treats & Eats

Welcome to the Carnival of the Recipes #63: Tricks, Treats and Eats. Be gentle. It's my first time. If I messed anything up, just let me know and I will fix it. Now on with the show...

TRICKS

I know we all love to cook (and eat) here at the Carnival. But let's face it...some dishes are just a tad more complicated than others. It may not always be that they are complicated in the kitchen per se - maybe they have a secret ingredient that's hard to guess or they offer a unique twist on an old dish. Whatever the case, the tricky part makes the treat part even better.

Bulogi - Texas Version - I missed this in my first posting. (Thanks, Kevin, for being gentle.) But Kevin's BBQ offered several alternative dishes for those not caring for lamb (see EATS below). Kevin says the trick to this Bulogi is to buy the meat from a Pak grocery - it makes it much easier.

Chicken Enchiladas - Always a treat at my house. Richmond of One for the Road recommends this dish for when you are in the need for some serious comfort - and/or you need to satisfy a house full of guests.

I will try many of these recipes just as soon as I can....actually cook. Sigh. I must say, the title for this category reminds me most of the famous horror flick "Carnival of Souls." Which about sums up my cooking, of an average night.
